The development of hydraulic ram for village use in developing countries : a dissertation submitted for the degree of Diploma in Natural Resources, Lincoln College and University of Canterbury
A hydraulic ram may be described as a simple, noisy, self-operating/automatic and efficient water raising machine. It is also a unique and interesting pumping device which combines the quality of prime-mover and pump. The assembly of the different components of a hydraulic ram is shown in Figure 1. …

In-line and transverse forces on a cylinder near a boundary in oscillatory flow
… to a plywood surface which was fastened to an hydraulic ram which could oscillate horizontally in a sinusoidal mode. Furthermore, this plywood surface, which acted as the boundary, was in contact with the upper free surface of the water in the flume, with the test cylinder submerged in the …

Low Proof Load Prediction of Ultimate Strengths of Fiberglass/Epoxy I-Beams Using Acoustic Emission
… loading the I-beams in cantilever fashion with a hydraulic ram. While testing, AE waveforms were collected from the onset of loading to failure. After acquisition, the AE data from each test were filtered to include only data collected up to 50% of the theoretical ultimate load for further …

Laterally Loaded Pile Cap Connections
… relied on their respective embedment lengths. A hydraulic ram was used to apply a cyclic lateral force to each of these pile caps until failure occurred. Load-displacement curves were developed for each pile cap and strain gauge measurements were used to evaluate tension and bending moments in …
